Israel has approved a proposal from the United States to temporarily extend the ceasefire with Hamas in Gaza during the holidays Ramadan and Pesach, says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah House’s office.
It is unclear whether Hamas has accepted the proposal.
The Muslim fasting month of Ramadan has just begun, and the Jewish holiday Pesach is celebrated this year between April 12 and 20.
“On the first day of the pitch, half of the living and deceased hostages will be released,” Netanyah’s office writes, according to Haaretz.
The remaining hostage shall be released “if an agreement on a permanent ceasefire is reached”, according to the statement.
The proposal has been submitted by US Middle Eastern Conductor Steve Witkoff.
